Manchester City and Liverpool's meeting in the Community Shield next season will take place at Leicester's King Power stadium, it has been confirmed.

Wembley, which usually stages the traditional season curtain raiser, is unable to do this year as it is hosting the Women's European Championship final on Sunday 31 July.

Sportsmail revealed earlier this month that the King Power was the frontrunner to replace Wembley after edging ahead of Elland Road, Villa Park, the Emirates Stadium and the London Stadium.

And now Leicester's 32,261-seat home ground has been confirmed as the hosts of next season's showpiece, which will take place at 5pm on Saturday 30 July.
